And now
This is what my baby said to me, Lord
Oh, give me a good, good, good, good, good, good
She say she want a good life
No one to cause her pain and strife
She want a good life
No man to cause her pain and strife
She don't want no unsteady relationship
One way a rock like a rocking ship
One love that's steady as can be
One that brings back memory
She want a good life
No man to cause her pain and strife
She say she want a good life
No man to cause her pain and strife
She's been in and out of love
And she say she must come
Confess she been used and abused
But there's no more time to lose
Oh, no
Because she want a good life
No man to cause her pain and strife
She say she want a good life
No man to cause her pain and strife
She want a man that's filled with ambition
One who'll sit down and set up a plan
The future is secure for all life
Long she want a good life
No man to cause her pain and strife
She say she want a good life
No man to cause her pain and strife
Well, she is sweeter than Cleopatra
She's got style, she's got class
Any man would want to pass
But oh, no
She say she want a good life
No man to cause her pain and strife
She want a good life
Nah, man, no man will cost her pain and strife
She say she want a man to settle down
Not a man who want a girl in a heavy town
She want a man to treat her right
Not a man who want to come in late at night
She want a good life
No man to cause her pain and strife
She say she want a good life
Nah, man no man to cause her pain and strife
She's been a healing doctor full of pain, and she says she must confess
She's been used and abused, but there's no more time to lose, oh no
Because she want a good life, no man to cause her pain and strife
She say she want a good life, no man to cause her pain and strife
She don't want no unsteady relationship, one way a rock like a rocking ship
Want a life as steady as can be, one that brings back memory
She want a good life, no man to cause her pain and strife
She want a good life, no man to cause her pain and strife
She say she want a good life, no man to cause her pain and strife
Now she is a sweeter than Cleopatra, she's got style, she's got class
Any man would want to pass, oh oh oh
But she want a good life, no man to cause her pain and strife
She say she want a good life, no man to cause her pain and strife
She say she want a good life, no man to cause her pain and strife
